Mini-FAQ:
========
* HandEra 330: use in "scale-to-fit" mode only, screenshot hack not supported
* Garbage titles: created by old beta, you can delete them in Details dialog
* General troubleshooting: do a soft-reset with the "Up" button pressed,
  followed by another soft-reset, and try again - often, this helps. 
* Upgrading on hi-res device converts all the old (lo-res) sketches. This may
  take some time, depending on the speed of your device. To successfully 
  upgrade your sketches, delete DiddleBug if you're currently using v.2.90.b.1
  or v.2.90.b.2. Then, re-install your old DiddleBugDB.pdb file. Now you are
  set up to install DiddleBug v.2.90.b.3. When you start it for the first time,
  it automatically converts all the sketches. This only works with a lo-res
  DiddleBugDB database, not with one modified by one of the previous betas of
  v.2.90.

Oh, and it only works on OS 3.5 and above. Use DiddleBug 2.15 if you've got a Palm still running one of the earlier OSes.
